I know that in a lot of games, the 3D Fx is much faster than a lot of
other video card such as STB Velocity 128 or Matrox M2. But actually,
what are the actual results of these card when not playing games, ETC
winbench, i have seen that the velocity beat most card in winbench but
it is not really fast in games. Also, some games might be faster than
others for different cards. So, Does anybody have the real real fair
results for there 3D cards????

I mean, who cares if the card is the fastest in a particular benchmark
..
What REALLY matters is how fast it is in a particular game... a game
that YOU like. In many games, 3dfx is very fast and has excellent
graphic quality. Not to mention, they are cheaper now ... about US$150
for a decent 4mb 3dfx board and US$175 for a 6mb one ...
There are only a few popular games that won't run on a 3dfx ... Nascar 2
and ICR 2 ... but the Nascar 2 patch is coming ...

I my self have an Orchid 3DFX card and a Matrox M2 for 2D work and they
work
brilliantly together as I didn't get a 3D card which would compromise my
2D
performance.
Hope this helps

What so good about 3Dfx? You get nice, shiny graphics. You get great looking
psychod...uhm...psychud...er...psychadelic....whatever...colors. They're really
neat...and shiny...and fast! Ooohhhh....nice...shiny...colors. I just got done
playing
Chickenator 2 in 3D. Oooohhh....

Thanks for you guys opinion, i am going to get a voodoo2 card later maybe for next
christmas, I love the game NFS2Se, does the graphics in NFS2Se rocks using 3Dfx,
i've seen some screeenshots from NFS2 website using 3DFX, it was quite impressive,
it said it was using INtergrahgh Intense 3D or something like that, will MOnster 3D
be better than that one????
